Dodgers win NLCS 2024
LOS ANGELES – After a second consecutive exit in the National League Division Series last year, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, general manager Brandon Gomes and the rest of the front office laid out their offseason plan.
They knew early exits in October weren’t going to be acceptable moving forward. To give themselves the best chance of that not happening in 2024, the Dodgers wanted to be aggressive over the winter.
Their priority was signing two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. Once the Dodgers accomplished their top goal, the rest of the plan they mapped out developed perfectly. In the end, the Dodgers secured all of their top targets over the winter, spending more than $1 billion in contracts.
By doing so, the Dodgers established one of the best rosters in recent memory. The expectation for the 2024 season was simple: World Series or bust.
With a 10-5 win over the Mets in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series on Sunday at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers moved four wins shy of achieving their ultimate goal, advancing to the World Series for the 22nd time in franchise history.
The Dodgers will now take on the AL champion Yankees, setting up a battle between two juggernauts in the World Series. It’s the 12th time the two historic franchises will face off in the Fall Classic and the first since 1981.
